This book was released on 1992 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The first part of this thesis studies numerically the effects that the surface conditions, defects and backflow have on the relaxation phenomena after cessation of simple shear flow for a typical rigid rod nematic polymer. The Leslie-Ericksen continuum theory and the Euler-Lagrange equations for surface motion are derived and used for this purpose. Predictions are found to be physically consistent." --
